BACKGROUND Field of the Disclosure

The present disclosure relates to a display device with integrated touch screen.

Discussion of the Related Art

With the advancement of information-oriented society, various requirements for display devices for displaying an image are increasing. Therefore, various display devices such as liquid crystal display (LCD) devices, plasma display panels (PDPs), and organic light emitting display devices are being used recently. In such display devices, the organic light emitting display devices are driven with a low voltage and have characteristics such as thinness, an excellent viewing angle, a fast response speed, etc.

The organic light emitting display devices each include a plurality of pixels, each including an organic light emitting device, and a bank that divides the pixels for defining the pixels. The bank may act as a pixel defining layer. The organic light emitting device includes an anode electrode, a hole transporting layer, an organic light emitting layer, an electron transporting layer, and a cathode electrode. In this case, when a high-level voltage is applied to the anode electrode and a low-level voltage is applied to the cathode electrode, a hole and an electron move to the organic light emitting layer through the hole transporting layer and the electron transporting layer and are combined with each other in the organic light emitting layer to emit light.

In a case where the organic light emitting device emits white light, red, green, and blue color filters for realizing red, green, and blue and a black matrix for dividing the color filters are used. The organic light emitting device is provided on a lower substrate of the organic light emitting display device, and the color filters and the black matrix are provided on an upper substrate of the organic light emitting display device. Also, by using an adhesive layer, the lower substrate where the organic light emitting device is provided is bonded to the upper substrate where the color filters and the black matrix are provided.

A thickness of the organic light emitting display device is thickened by the adhesive layer, and for this reason, a distance between the organic light emitting device and the black matrix increases. For this reason, the organic light emitting display device has the following problems.

FIGS. 1A and 1B are exemplary diagrams illustrating a luminance viewing angle and occurrence of color mixture with respect to a distance between an organic light emitting device and a black matrix.

In FIG. 1A, when a distance between an organic light emitting layer OL of an organic light emitting device 2 and a black matrix BM is “a”, occurrence of color mixture and a luminance viewing angle (i e, luminance viewing angle decrease) are shown due to the organic light emitting device 2. In FIG. 1B, when the distance between the organic light emitting layer OL of the organic light emitting device 2 and the black matrix BM is “b”, occurrence of color mixture and a luminance viewing angle are not shown due to the organic light emitting device 2. The distance “a” is longer than the distance “b”. The organic light emitting device 2 includes an anode electrode AND, an organic light emitting layer OL, and a cathode electrode CAT.

Referring to FIGS. 1A and 1B, when the distance between the organic light emitting layer OL of the organic light emitting device 2 and the black matrix BM is “a”, color mixture where light emitted from the organic light emitting device 2 of one pixel travels to a color filter CF of an adjacent pixel without being blocked by the black matrix BM occurs. However, when the distance between the organic light emitting layer OL of the organic light emitting device 2 and the black matrix BM is “b”, color mixture hardly occurs.

Moreover, when the distance between the organic light emitting layer OL of the organic light emitting device 2 and the black matrix BM is “a”, light emitted from the organic light emitting device 2 is output at a first angle “θ1”, but when the distance between the organic light emitting layer OL of the organic light emitting device 2 and the black matrix BM is “b”, the light emitted from the organic light emitting device 2 is output at a second angle “θ2” greater than the first angle “θ1”.

As described above, in order to prevent occurrence of color mixture and widen a luminance viewing angle, it is required to decrease the distance between the organic light emitting layer OL of the organic light emitting device 2 and the black matrix BM.

Recently, the organic light emitting display devices are implemented as a display device with integrated touch screen including a touch screen panel capable of sensing a touch of a user. In this case, the organic light emitting display devices function as a touch screen device.

In the display device with integrated touch screen, Tx electrodes and Rx electrodes are provided in the touch screen panel. Also, the display device with integrated touch screen includes a polarizer, for preventing image quality from being degraded because light incident from the outside is reflected by the Tx electrodes and the Rx electrodes. In this case, due to the polarizer, the display device with integrated touch screen of the related art has a problem where the cost increases and a thickness is thickened. Also, because external light is reflected by the polarizer, a screen looks like a mirror in the outdoors, and for this reason, the display device with integrated touch screen has another problem where image visibility is reduced in the outdoors.

The organic light emitting device layer 20 may include a first electrode, an organic light emitting layer, a second electrode, and a bank.

In this case, when a voltage is applied to the first electrode and the second electrode, a hole and an electron move to the light emitting layer through the hole transporting layer and the electron transporting layer and are combined with each other in the light emitting layer to emit light. Since the pixels are provided in an area where the organic light emitting device layer 20 is formed, the area where the organic light emitting device layer 20 is formed may be defined as a display area.

The second touch electrodes RE extending in the second direction may be connected to a second touch line RL at one end thereof. The second touch line RL may be connected to the second touch driver 182 through the pad.

Second Embodiment

FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view illustrating another embodiment taken along line I-I′ of FIG. 5.

Except that first to third color filters CF1 to CF3 overlap each other in a boundary portion therebetween, a display device with integrated touch screen illustrated in FIG. 8 is substantially the same as the details described above with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7. Therefore, detailed descriptions on the first substrate 111, the second substrate 112, the TFT layer 10, the organic light emitting device layer 20, the encapsulation layer 30, and the touch sensing layer 50 illustrated in FIGS. 6 and 7 are omitted.

A color filter layer 40 may be formed on the encapsulation layer 30. The color filter layer 40 may include first to third color filters CF1 to CF3 and an overcoat layer 290.

In detail, the first to third color filters CF1 to CF3 having different transmissive wavelength ranges may be disposed on the encapsulation film 280. The first color filter CF1 may be a red color filter disposed in correspondence with a first pixel P1, the second color filter CF2 may be a green color filter disposed in correspondence with a second pixel P2, and the third color filter CF3 may be a blue color filter disposed in correspondence with a third pixel P3. In this case, the first color filter CF1 may be formed of an organic layer including a red pigment, the second color filter CF2 may be formed of an organic layer including a green pigment, and the third color filter CF3 may be formed of an organic layer including a blue pigment.

The first to third color filters CF1 to CF3 may be disposed to overlap each other in an area (i.e., a boundary portion) overlapping a bank 270. As illustrated in FIG. 8, the first to third color filters CF1 to CF3 may be sequentially stacked on a boundary portion between first to third color filters CF1 to CF3. In this case, the stacking order of the first to third color filters CF1 to CF3 stacked on the boundary portion may be relevant to an order in which the first to third color filters CF1 to CF3 are formed. For example, if the color filter layer 40 is formed in the order of the first color filter CF1, the second color filter CF2, and the third color filter CF3, the first to third color filters CF1 to CF3 may be formed to overlap each other in the boundary portion between the first to third color filters CF1 to CF3 in the order of the first color filter CF1, the second color filter CF2, and the third color filter CF3.

In FIG. 8, it is illustrated that all of the first to third color filters CH to CF3 overlap each other in the boundary portion between the first to third color filters CF1 to CF3, but the present embodiment is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, two adjacent color filters may overlap each other in the boundary portion between the first to third color filters CF1 to CF3. For example, the first color filter CF1 and the second color filter CF2 may be formed to overlap each other in a boundary portion between the first color filter CF1 and the second color filter CF2, and the third color filter CF3 may not overlap.

As described above, two or more of the first to third color filters CF1 to CF3 may be disposed to overlap each other in the boundary portion between the first to third color filters CF1 to CF3, thereby effectively preventing color mixture which occurs when light emitted from one pixel travels to a color filter of an adjacent pixel.

To provide description for example, if the first color filter CF1 transmitting red light and the second color filter CF2 transmitting green light overlap each other in the boundary portion between the first color filter CF1 and the second color filter CF2, the red light passing through the first color filter CF1 cannot pass through the second color filter CF2. Accordingly, light emitted from the first pixel P1 cannot travel to the second pixel P2, and thus, light emitted from the second pixel P2 cannot travel to the first pixel P1.

Although not shown, the color filter layer 40 may further include a transparent organic layer disposed in correspondence with a white subpixel. In this case, the transparent organic layer may be formed of acryl resin, epoxy resin, phenolic resin, polyamide resin, polyimide resin, and/or the like.

An overcoat layer 290 may be formed on the first to third color filters CF1 to CF3. The overcoat layer 290 may be disposed on the first to third color filters CF1 to CF3 to planarize a step height between the first to third color filters CF1 to CF3.

According to the present embodiment, two or more of the first to third color filters CF1 to CF3 may be disposed to overlap each other in the boundary portion between the first to third color filters CF1 to CF3, thereby effectively preventing color mixture which occurs when light emitted from one pixel travels to a color filter of an adjacent pixel.

Moreover, according to the embodiments of the present disclosure, two or more of the first to third color filters CF1 to CF3 are merely formed to overlap each other without forming a separate pattern for preventing color mixture in the boundary portion between the first to third color filters, but it is expected to prevent occurrence of color mixture. Accordingly, according to the embodiments of the present disclosure, it is not required to add a separate manufacturing process.

The black matrix BM may be formed on the first insulation layer INS1 and the bridge electrodes BE. The black matrix BM may be disposed to overlap the first touch electrodes TE and the bridge electrodes BE in the first direction (the X-axis direction). Also, the black matrix BM may be disposed to overlap the second touch electrodes RE in the second direction (the Y-axis direction). In this manner, the black matrix BM may be disposed to overlap the first and second touch electrodes TE and RE and the bridge electrodes BE, thereby preventing light incident from the outside from being reflected by the first and second touch electrodes TE and RE and the bridge electrodes BE.
